[1990-07-21-USWA-Championship Sports] Interview: John Tatum

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Tatum explains the difference between him and Dundee - they both use women, but unlike Dundee, he gives them back to their owners. Hahahaha! That made me laugh.

[PeteF3]

When Dundee takes another man's woman, he keeps her forever. When Tatum takes one of the fat, ugly Texas women he only uses 'em for the night. Good fired-up promo where Tatum challenges Dundee to a "Texas Tornado Death Match."

[soup23]

Tatum is the man and his analogy was perfect.

Pretty funny promo where Tatum brags about nailing fat Texas chicks. The only thing thing missing is the mopad and fat chick analogy here.

[Kevin Ridge]

The belt is pretty small. If Dundee wants a shot at Tatum it with have to be a Texas Tornado Death match. Popular match. Tatum lets us know he only uses these fat Texas for the night. Totally Understandable.

[garretta]

Another solid Tatum promo. He seems to have moved totally beyond Tessa now, and wants to kick Dundee's butt in a Texas death match. I'm not sure I'd brag about being the love 'em and leave 'em type, but that's just me.

 

Another case of Memphis and Dallas being two separate promotions with the same name: in Memphis, Tatum's neck was injured by Lawler. In Dallas two weeks later, he's perfectly fine and still defending the Southern title. It amazes me that two sides of the same promotion, booked and owned by the same man, have so little continuity, especially when they're running the same feud for the same reason.

Dude John Tatum, what else can be said.

[GSR]

John Tatum is out for an interview with Craig Johnson and he says that Bill Dundee is the lowest form of man walking the earth! He’s kicked his girl in the head, he’s kicked him in the head, he’s taken his title, he’s taken his prestige, he’s taken everything he’s got, but now he wants another title match and a shot at getting this Southern title back? He’s not going to get a shot at the belt though, what he’s going to have to do is wrestle John Tatum John Tatum’s way, and that’s a Texas Tornado Death match. Bill Dundee is the lowest form of life, but there is one difference between ‘The Superstar’ and him. They’re both low down, women stealing men, but Dundee takes a man’s woman and keeps her forever, he doesn’t want to give her back. When he takes all these fat, ugly, Texas girls, he uses them for the night and then he gives them back! Lock up your daughters, lock up your sisters, lock up all the women in Texas as Bill Dundee will take them because he’s a thief! Next Friday in the Texas Death match he’s going to put him out of professional wrestling for good.

 

Another great John Tatum promo. Just hope no-one in Dallas has been watching the Memphis TV, as so much for his ‘broken neck’. At least he will be able to feed his momma again though!

[dawho5]

Tatum is really good at cutting a fired up heel promo. Also at sounding like a douchebag.

John Tatum is sweaty and talking about his personal habits, and I want to take a shower.  I think John should have caught his breath for a minute or two, because he fumbles some of his speech.  But it's still compelling and makes me want to see a Texas Tornado Death Match between John and the Superstar.
